Chapter 1250: Chapter 1249: Rule Warning Chapter 1250: Chapter 1249: Rule Warning Han Dong wore an appearance of soone unfazed by pressure as he pressed his palm against the cross.
From the outside, nothing seed to happen, the two ministers also froze in astonishnt… The re fact he could touch the cross without effect was already inconceivable.
However.
From Han Dong’s main perspective, sothing rather unfavorable was still occurring.
A string of system notifications reverberated in his mind.
It was as if the cross could serve as a signal receiver, protecting the connection with the Fate System before the world completely spiraled out of control.
“You have two important ssages to review imdiately.
1. The current area belongs to the ‘Rule Prohibited Zone.’ Please leave swiftly and report the situation here to the [Black Tower]. The information report will grant you additional rewards on top of the base rewards.
2. Campaign Mission (Optional)
Individuals who are confident in their strength and hold other world ‘Nodes’ or ‘Shares’ may choose to accept the [Campaign Mission – Fate’s Lock].
Mission Requirent: Clear all the Undead in the current area and infuse the chains with the ‘Power of the World’ to conduct repairs.
The ‘Power of the World’ used will be reimbursed upon returning to the Black Tower.
Additionally, if the repair value reaches above 20%, the individual will also obtain Black Tower Honor (Honor Points are closely related to employee promotions and cannot be obtained through regular missions).”
“Quite generous, huh… But I’ve already promised soone else, and going back on my word is not a good thing.”
That’s what he said.
But in Han Dong’s eyes, the rewards provided by the system were not sufficient to change his own stance.
The task Han Dong was currently undertaking, if successful, would ultimately earn him world shares forsaken by the Tomb Lord, along with the ‘favor’ of a high-ranking Black Tower executive.
That was sothing Honor Points couldn’t buy.
“Togu, can you handle this ‘chain’ that has evolved from the world’s rules?”
“I can’t manage it on my own.
However, I can use my affinity for the ‘chain’ to pinpoint and touch its origin.
The best thod would still require you to use your authority and drive it with the Power of the World.”
“Hmm, if that’s really the case, it should be feasible.
But the actual operation is another matter…”
“Master, shall we start now?”
“Don’t rush, I still need to confirm with the Tomb Lord.
If he is not ready yet, pulling it out directly will likely lead to failed connections, and the world’s rules will use the gap to bind the Corpse Country in another way.
When that happens, the rules will be changed into another form of binding that is difficult for us to decipher, and it will beco very complicated.”
“Okay.”
After pondering for a mont, Han Dong made another decision,
“Togu! Why don’t you stay here and establish a connection with the rule’s chain… Since we have to deal with such a troubleso matter, we need to seize all the benefits we can, and use them to the fullest.
Simply pulling out the chain seems a bit wasteful.
Stay here and familiarize yourself with the nature of the chain, and when we pull it out, try to see if you can rge it into your body.”
“I will not disappoint you, Master.”
Togu Gonzales, the most reliable of the Faceless Prison… It was because of this that Han Dong made such a perilous decision.
To be precise, every citizen in Derry Town was highly reliable, after all, they were special talents picked out by the Mayor.
The range for [Minion] control is ten ters.
With the faint sound of clinking chains,
Togu’s real body appeared in the shadows beside the cross, just out of sight of the two ministers.
Han Dong then put on an easygoing deanor as if everything had been taken care of, and left the cross area.
“How’s the situation?”
Sir Yan couldn’t wait to ask while wiping the “Corpse oil” from his body with a handkerchief.
Minister Chang, responsible for the underground works, showed the sa urgency, eager to hear the answer from Han Dong’s mouth.
“If all goes well, I should be able to help you quickly remove the chain… Before that, I still need to et with the Tomb Lord.”
“Really? How will you do it?” Minister Chang’s six eyes were wide open, desperate for an answer.
“The specifics will be clear when the ti cos, it’s not convenient to disclose now.
Furthermore, please keep this matter confidential, Your Excellency.
If soone cos to you tonight inquiring about the purpose of Sir Yan and my visit here, just say we ca to take samples… and by the way, hand us two bodies that have been eroded by the chains to take back with us.”
Holding the Death Jade in hand, Han Dong made his stance clear.
“Fine… I will fully cooperate.”
Led by Minister Chang,
Han Dong was taken to an [Isolation Zone], thousands of ters away, specifically excavated for storing the Locksmith corpses.
These Undead, who had died due to the backlash of the rules, could not be destroyed and were buried together in a secret area.
As the giant iron gate of the isolation zone, over ten ters tall, was pushed open, the sight that t Han Dong’s eyes made his heart shudder.
The so-called ‘corpses’ were mostly not completely dead.
When the erosion rate reached 50%, individual mobility beca a serious issue… Once considered unable to perform the ‘Locksmith’ job, they would be discarded here.
And the scale of the isolation zone was probably equal to the total of more than a dozen large workshops, with tens of thousands of corpses piled up, and perhaps even more.
Staring at these Undead contorted in pain and covered with chains, Han Dong frowned, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.
“Now that they’re useless, why not kill them… This kind of treatnt is tantamount to torture.”
Minister Chang helplessly said, “It’s not that we don’t do it, but rather we can’t.
Those deeply eroded individuals, most of their bodies have been replaced with chains, making them very difficult to kill… Even for , it would take a lot of effort to possibly kill one of them.”
“Once the chains are removed, leave these Undead to to deal with.”
…
On the return journey,
Due to today’s incredible experiences.
Yan Bowen, the famous Minister of the Secret Departnt, also seed almost to beco an underling, walking behind Han Dong multiple tis during the return trip.
“Are we going directly to the Taiji Palace to see His Majesty?” asked Sir Yan with a hint of urgency in his voice.
“It’s getting late, let’s wait for a night before going… There might be soone secretly checking our movents, or even speaking directly with the officials we’ve contacted, let’s give them so ti.”
“Who could trace back to us?”
Sir Yan looked displeased, having wanted to ask this question even when they were underground… He, a high-ranking officer of the Secret Departnt, who would dare to casually track his movents?
“It might be soone with a higher rank than you.
In any case, give them so ti, if they really do check… tomorrow, these people will likely et the Emperor with us.”
“What purpose would these people have? You have Death Jade, can’t you just explain to them directly?”
“The reason I brought Sir Yan is to use the pretext of the Secret Departnt to hide the fact that I have the Death Jade, and ensure the other party does not learn of this relationship… Otherwise, it will be difficult to uproot them completely.”
“There are traitors in the Imperial Palace?!”
“We’ll know tomorrow… Go back and sleep in peace.”
